What happens when you combine low drag tandem seating, an engine tucked behind the cabin out of the slipstream, and an eye for detail in the streamlining department? You get an airplane that just naturally wants to go fast!

What happens when you use a fully triangulated truss design of aircraft grade aluminum and incorporate very large control surfaces? You get a very strong yet very light airplane that can carry a 500 pound payload, much greater than its own weight, and that can fly very slowly in total, positive control.

The Challenger II weighs 100-200 pounds less than its competitors. To put this in perspective, that's the weight of a passenger, or of 20 to 30 gallons of fuel.

The long wing Challenger has 40-70% more lifting surface than competitive designs. Even the clip wing has 20-40% more area. More lift means less horsepower is needed to achieve goals. Again, less horsepower is less money!
